Australia Post Funds Community Mental Health Projects

Australia Post is reopening applications for its Community Grants Program, offering up to $10,000 to not-for-profits that boost mental wellbeing and social connection—deadlines close July 6, 2026. Last year, $700K funded 88 projects, with over half targeting regional areas and 40% aiding disaster recovery. In the ACT, Music for Canberra used funds for anxiety-reducing drum circles, while the African Australian Council ACT supported youth sports days to reconnect kids with positive activities. Beyond cash, these grants foster collaboration and community engagement, helping organizations link youth with services and tackle issues like crime. Since 2019, Australia Post has backed over 530 grants nationwide—proving grassroots support is key to building stronger, healthier communities.
